Commenting on her appointment, Ms Sasingian said: “I am proud to join an organisation that has contributed to huge transformational change in the country since its establishment just over a decade ago.
“The footprint of Digicel PNG Foundation is evident all over Papua New Guinea through the classrooms that have been built, the mobile health clinics that have been purchased, and the lives that are being changed through many of its social programs. “The next decade marks an exciting new opportunity to build on the solid foundations that have been laid and I am honoured to lead this dynamic organisation to further its mission to make sure nobody gets left behind.”
Ms Sasingian is a lawyer by profession. She holds a Bachelor of Laws (Honours) from the University of Papua New Guinea and a Master of Business specialising in philanthropy and non-profit studies from the Queensland University of Technology in Australia.
